I'm not all familiar with the terminology, but it works with the kind
where you've got multiple VPEs with one TC per VPE, vSMP IIUC.

You need to pass these options to QEMU, -cpu 34Kf -smp 2, where 2 maybe
anything up to 16.

We've (AXIS) got models for the GIC aswell, but I need to check with MTI 
before publishing those.  IMO these models would help everybody cause
it's, to say the leaast, a huge pain to setup the GIC without having QEMU
or any emulator to check the interrupt routing.

Cheers
